IKEA is breaking new ground with its newest store in Austria.
Located at Vienna’s Westbahnhof station, this seven-story building will be unlike any IKEA you’ve ever seen.
This innovative concept is aimed at the urban shopper and is a nod to Vienna’s top-notch transport system.
IKEA Westbahnhof will include the full range of items that shoppers have come to expect.
An enhanced logistics department will ensure that all other items will be delivered to your homeideally within 24 hours.
It’s a new way of shopping that caters to convenience and comfort.
The unconventional design of the building was a joint effort betweenquerkraft architektenand IKEA’s architects.
The goal was the create an informal space that the entire community can enjoy.
In fact, the green rooftop will be open to the public even outside of IKEA’s opening hours.
The 160 trees integrated into the outer shell will help with heating and cooling, keeping a balanced microclimate.
In keeping with their goal to be good neighbors, IKEA is also integrating other businesses into the building.
IKEA Westbahnhof began construction on January 7, 2020 and is slated to open in 2021.
